POLYPHONY
The Analog Keys is capable of four voice multitimbral polyphony (or unison). This is possible thanks to the powerful
sound engine that can change sound instantly and allow completely dynamic voice allocation. The sequencer is fully
polyphonic, allowing overlapping notes and chords to be programmed on the tracks. Any track can play up to four notes
using its own track sound. Notes are distributed to the synth voices according to a user-selectable allocation method.
Certain synth voices can also be poly disabled, allowing tracks to have their dedicated, monophonic synth voice availa-
ble at all times. The poly configuration is stored per kit, for maximum flexibility.
